I was also thinking it's weird that pro heroes aren't mandatory reporters in this world but I looked it up and apparently Japan doesn't have a mandatory reporting law irl.

If there’s a superpowered individual involved wouldn’t that just wind up right back in the hero’s jurisdiction?

The whole idea was not tipping off the abuser that the police were after him. In theory, it was delaying help for a scared little girl for the greater good.

Deku's reflexive willingness to throw out months of effort to help the little girl in front of him is why he's All Might's chosen heir, but it's also a very short term view, even if you could argue that it's the most moral one.

Also there's a very reasonable chance it could end up with one or both of them as a literal smear on the wall as it happened to somebody in this episode

Overhaul still has a streak of that, however-see that one mook who tries to apologize, and Overhaul doesn't listen out to him, completely splatters him, and then asks "Can someone get the janitor in here?".

A good villain doesn’t let loose loving ends hang about and nothing about Overhaul so far suggests he likes leaving loose ends (he’s too much of a neat freak)


Nephthys posted:

Letting them get away with her isn't really an option for him though. She knows too much about him and his operation to risk her talking to heroes. It would probably be over for him if that happened anyway. Plus it's not like they knew what kind of person he was.

He wasn’t letting them get away and almost assuredly was about to splatter them if Eri didn’t acquiesce.

If they commit to the fight the Mirio wrecks them. His whole gimmick was being unstoppable in a fight. All Deku would have to do is run, which he's very good at.

I wasn't thinking of her as a perpetual stuff generator, but more as a way to advance material sciences. She can produce things at a molecular level so she should be able to make really small things such as carbon nano tubes. She can also make complex things while having a genius level intelligence so I dont see why with enough research and trial she couldn't make something like a cup of nano machines.

She should be in a research lab with a well funded staff, not a fight mans

But she doesn't want to advance molecular science! She wants to beat up bad guys!

the arguments against yaoyarozu being a hero probably wouldn't be as strong if her accomplishments in the anime to date weren't so lacking

she's one of two recommended students in 1A. in the sports tournament, todoroki nuked the entire stadium twice over. yaoyorozu came down with performance anxiety and then got pecked off the stage

Deku's visible accomplishments during that same tournament mostly looked like him maiming himself to outside observers.

The entirety of his development up to this point has just been trying to figure out how to use his quirk without maiming himself or people around him!

The manga arc was plagued by Horikoshi being sick and needing breaks so it dragged on for a really long time

Didn’t help that the average chapter size was 3/4 what it would normally be so it took a third longer than it normally should have

It’s not a fantastic arc tbh

TheKingofSprings
Oct 9, 2012
Even before this, hasn’t Ochako been the only one to get serious fights with a lot of screentime against Bakugo (a legitimate brawl and one of the better fights in the series) and against Toga?

IDK if it’s because Horikoshi isn’t comfortable drawing fights like that or if it’s because the series emphasizes boys getting the fights (being, y’know, a shonen) but it’s a pretty glaring flaw of the series.

Just watched Episode 77

So a key point of this arc was to Worf Overhaul and his Yakuza. They were introduced as big threats for the League to get the better of and thus establish their evil cred.

I get this is supposed to be the League finally maybe becoming serious threats but they only accomplished anything after the Heroes did all the work. Robbing and mutilating a wounded, incapacitated Overhaul doesn't prove anything. They're still the losers who got owned by Gran Torino and of course Overhaul.

They have yet to win any real fights or establish themselves as actual threats

Bruh, they got exactly what they wanted out of it and they didn’t have to fight or lose anyone to do it.

A hero is dead, the Yakuza are demolished and the VA got a bunch of experimental bullets the underworld would kill for. Who won here?

Mineta’s at his most tolerable in the movie where he does something legitimately useful, (and heroic?), gets complimented on it by the female lead of the movie and instead of going into his usual horn dog spiel he gushes because he was just so happy to get positive approval

Question for anime only watchers, how do you all feel about the Overhaul arc now that it’s done? Back when it was coming out in the manga I remembered it being a slog and found the anime to be a fair bit better paced about it.

In a lot of these shows it’s good to keep in mind the writer is often trying desperately not to get cancelled so the early stuff can really be throwing concepts at a wall to see what sticks.

So you have the author throwing around 20 different characters with different character traits and concepts, some of them are a bit more popular than others and end up getting more time and focus but with more time they’re able to work more on fleshing most of them out a but more.

Also Lemillion has done great work with the power he already has, he didn’t need another one.
